Add some definition to your waist with the oblique twist with a medicine ball. Sit on the ground. Lean your torso back, and lift your legs off the ground, forming a "V" with your body. Holding a medicine ball in your hands, twist all the way to one side of your body before reversing the movement and twisting all the way to the other side. Perform 12 to 15 twists to each side.

Using a bench or a set of Lebert Equalizer bars, perform an assisted dip with one leg lifted up off the ground. This will help add definition to your arms while also challenging your lower body. Start with your arms fully extended with one foot flat on the floor and the other one lifted. Bend your elbows, and lower your body toward the floor. When your elbows form a 90-degree angle, reverse the movement and return to start. Perform 10 to 12 repetitions

If you're long and lean all over, like Taylor Swift or Kate Middleton, you want to focus on lifting heavier weights at the gym. Perform two to three sets of each of the following exercises to exhaustion. When your workout is done, maximize your results by consuming a meal rich in high-quality proteins and carbs.
